I'd have thought something much beefier would be needed. You can either try w2k or xp, or just get a 400 watt ps and see if the problem goes away. Of course that will void the warranty, but your mention of "retail boxed" on the processors makes one suspect that you've done that already. -- Barney Wolff http://www.databus.com/bwresume.pdf I'm available by contract or FT, in the NYC metro area or via the 'Net.
